I used to post on this board many years ago - so long that I've forgotten my old username!!!

Anyway, I'm a UK CFS/ME patient, and those here who depend on govt benefits and disability services will know only too well that they are being cut drastically. And anyone applying for ESA will know what a horrendous nightmare the process is since the cuts. So if you're in the UK, could you please, please take a moment to sign this petition to try and get those cuts debated in parliament:

(it's a non-party political petition, it's just to try and get the topic debated and maybe some changes made).

It's only got till Nov 1st to get the 100,000 signatures needed for a debate, so if you can pass it on to anyone who might want to sign it, all the better.
